    D. 1, 2, 4

    Read Explanation:

    • Wildfires are indeed a comprehensive term for any vegetation fire, adaptable to various environments like forests, grasslands, and even shrublands. Their rapid spread is highly influenced by environmental factors such as high temperatures, which dry out fuel, and strong winds, which can carry embers and oxygen to accelerate the burn. Coniferous and evergreen broadleaf forests are especially susceptible due to the high flammability of their vegetation.
